I could write lies
Sticky and sweet

I could write lies
Sticky and sweet

I could write lies
Please press repeat

Life set to rewind
Time set fast-forward
Learning things too late?
Is that the best
being haltered?

Take shape, dear poetry
Little, hiding words, implore me
Godly benevolence
adores me.

And what's there to say
At the end of the day
When the lights are on backwards
And my eyes facing forward

Rhyming with forward is hard
Rhyming with forward is hard
Rhyming with forward is difficult
And I want you to know

I could write lies
Sticky and sweet

I could write lies
Sticky and sweet

I could write lies
Please press repeat
Sorta wanted to write a song, but also wanted to write something. Been listening to "because the internet" by Childish Gambino; it's great. Also, this is sorta inspired by a blog post by Michael Gungor regarding christian music.
